Abstract

Advances in technologies that permit high-resolution analysis of events in single cells have revealed that phenotypic heterogeneity is a widespread phenomenon in bacteria. Flow cytometry has the potential to describe the distribution of cellular properties within a population of bacterial cells and has yielded invaluable information about the ability of isogenic cells to diversify into phenotypic subpopulations. This review will discuss several single-cell approaches that have recently been applied to define phenotypic heterogeneity in populations of Salmonella enterica.
